Ensure every key safety measure. People with light skin might sustain burns in fewer than 5 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation. Following every swim or outdoor workout, a sunscreen with an SPF of not less than 30 should be liberally applied and re-applied frequently, even on overcast days. Heed this! UV intensity is much stronger when reflected off sand and water.
